Lavalys Everest Ultimate 5.3

Conclusion

Everest certainly provides every piece of information you could require and it's one of the main solutions to the problem I mentioned on page one, how do you produce a piece of software that is useful to both the first-timers and those who can work out memory dividers in their sleep?

The experts amongst us will find details of their CAS, RAS and voltages useful, along with the very speedy benchmark tests. It's one thing to follow the maxim that more must equal better, but to have hard bandwidth figures to back it up with is always nice. After all, what's the point in tweaking if we can't proudly display the results of our efforts?

Whereas those whose knowledge of their PC is limited to its colour will find simple to understand information about exactly which piece of hardware they have and, one of Everest's best features, links to the manufacturers website and where to get updates. Certainly anyone who's tried to help a PC-phobic friend out over the phone, or had to attempt to troubleshoot a generic PC, will greatly appreciate the ability to quickly find out the hardware they have installed without having to dig out the screwdriver and the midnight oil.

Comprehensive doesn't begin to cover this program. Fully featured with clear and understandable results is everything you could want from this type of software. Many companies could learn a thing or two from Lavalys in both the clear presentation, easy navigation and small 23MB RAM footprint.

At only $29.96 this is one of the best investments you can make. Lavalys' constant updates and new features ensure even those of the absolute cutting edge of technology are never left behind, whilst those with a more medium spec PC can see at a glance how an upgrade to a certain set of hardware would benefit them.
